Central Booking

Sunday night in central booking

Hope no one I know is looking in on where I am

On where I've been

To add to my list of disgraces

They took my belt and my shoelaces

Yet

I'm not a threat

No

Not like that

And when I stand for my defense

Should I protest my innocence

Or should I say

I know I was wrong

Because despite all the evidence

The photograph and the fingerprints

I don't need to stay here

I don't belong

I don't belong

I don't belong

When I saw them coming for me

I knew that I was disorderly

How could that be

I felt so free

Ran a block then

Took a tumble

Handcuffs lock and I just mumble

No

Don't make me go

Don't make me go

And when I stand for my defense

Should I protest my innocence

Or should I say

I know I was wrong

Because despite all the evidence

The photograph and the fingerprints

I don't need to stay here

I don't belong

I don't belong

I don't belong

Share a cell with little hellions caught up in some teen rebellion

But I don't know what still makes them strut

Use the phone but no one answers

That guy swears he's just a dancer

And we all misunderstand

Sunday night in central booking

Hope no one I know is looking in on where I am or where I've been

Where have I been
